Bratton: Britney clothed, Paris out of town and Lohan gone gay

A hearing on papparzzi called by Councilman Dennis Zine is a “farce,” LAPD Chief William Bratton said this morning, and said he won’t be attending and wasting city resources.

“Since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving, Paris is out of town not bothering anyone anymore, thank God, and evidently Lindsey Lohan has gone gay, you don’t seem to have an issue,” he told Channel 4 KNBC news this morning. “If the ones who attract the paparrazi behave in the first place like we expect of anyone, it solves 90 percent of the problem. The rest we can deal with.”

Bratton went on to blast Zine, a fomer LAPD officer, for “grandstanding.”

“LAPD has no intention of dealing with this farce,” he said.
It appears that he was a morning run or some kind of workout when he spotted the cameras and walked over to “set the record straight.” Check out the video.
Bratton has butted heads with Zine before, most recently over Special Order 40. Zine proposed changing the longstanding policy intended to encourage immigrants to report violent crimes, but Bratton firmly opposed changing a single word.
